Kayla Osterhoff,

Women are complex and ever-changing, physiologically speaking, which makes them difficult and expensive to study. As a result, women’s complexities are often ignored or dismissed in broader societal structures, excluding women from the same and equal opportunities as their male counterparts. Kayla’s work embraces and celebrates the complex biological, hormonal, emotional, cognitive, and physiological cycles of women to break barriers to inclusion.

Despite advancements in gender equality, women continue to face systemic barriers and unequal representation. Kayla recognizes these challenges and is committed to promoting change through innovative educational initiatives and impactful women-forward interventions. She believes in a future where gender equality becomes a reality, leading to enhanced social, economic, and cultural progress.

Kayla’s work bridges the science, policy, and economic sectors to create more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable policies for women, and ultimately all of humanity. She is a female scientist, women’s policy advocate, conscious economy visionary, and the founder and CEO of Her Biorhythm - an organization dedicated to closing gender gaps in research, education, and business through the practice of good, inclusive science.

Using a multifaceted approach, Kayla’s work aims to address gender gaps, empower individual expression, promote collective contribution, and advance society forward. To this end, she has worked with multi-sectoral, international leaders, including WHO, CDC, Universities, Global Ministries of Health, and Conscious Economics to advocate for women’s equity in health, economy, and research. She also works privately with policy makers and large international corporations to educate, design, and implement evidence-based policies, systems, and structures that foster inclusivity, drive diversity, and close the gender divide. Her initiatives encompass the following areas:

Inclusive Research: Recognizing the underrepresentation of women in research and the lack of women-centric data, Kayla works towards closing the gender gap in academia and scientific research by supporting initiatives that empower women researchers, improve women’s health research standards, and advance the field of women’s health science. This includes research grants, mentorship programs, and scientific policy change.

Female Biology and Health Education: With the unique female biology and biological rhythm as the foundation, Kayla actively advocates for gender equality in health education to eliminate gender biases and stereotypes. She offers education across the field of women’s health science, including female-specific physiology, neuropsychology, and endocrinology. She also partners with educational institutions to develop female-centered health curricula, provide a variety of accessible online and in-person programs, and establish scholarships to support women in their educational journeys. She also works to empower girls and young women through innovative K-12 women’s health curriculum that enhances self-efficacy and self-love.

Corporate Consulting and Business Biorhythm Development: Kayla works with large international corporations to design and implement truly inclusive corporate policies, structures, and systems. Her work embraces and leverages women's unique biological rhythms, neurodiversity, and cognitive strengths to foster innovation and nurture vibrant leadership that promotes connection, creativity, growth, and tangible results.

Women’s Leadership: To address gender inequalities in business and the economy, Kayla works to increase the representation of women in leadership positions by addressing the root cause of barriers to advancement for women. She collaborates with businesses to implement equity and inclusion strategies targeted for women, provides women’s leadership development programs that leverage women’s physiological and cognitive strengths, and creates networks that enable women to access mentorship, guidance, and career advancement opportunities. Her aim is to empower women to contribute their unique innovations and leadership skills to lead and drive positive change in their respective industries.

Our planet and our collective health are on the verge of complete breakdown, a consequence of the unconscious and biased systems rooted in patriarchy, greed, and a lack of understanding of our own human technology. However, there is a more enlightened way to work and live—one that acknowledges the intelligence of nature, respects the body, and embraces balance between feminine and masculine principles.

Nature possesses profound ancient wisdom, manifested through the organic flow of phases and cycles such as seasons. These cycles, when undisturbed, lead to a magnificent progression, giving rise to abundant and diverse life. Yet, when these natural rhythms are disrupted or altered, creation falters, making it increasingly challenging for life to prosper. However, without fail, when left undisturbed, everything in nature falls into harmony. As we've distanced ourselves from aligning with nature and allowing mother nature's wisdom to unfold, we've grown farther apart from the Earth, from one another, and even from ourselves. This has slowed the progression and abundance of life in its most complete expression.

Women exemplify nature being diverted from its innate course. They symbolize creation, as not only is nature personified as a woman, but women's bodies are entrusted with the task of creating and birthing new life. Like mother nature, women's bodies follow natural cycles, echoing the four phases of the seasons. When women are attuned to the rhythms of their bodies, they flourish and have the capacity to generate new life. However, when women are out of sync with their bodies and resist their nature, they experience dysregulation and hindered growth. Cultural shifts driven by patriarchal values have induced this disconnection, often neglecting women, excluding them from scientific inquiry, and instructing them to detach from their bodies and disregard their natural cycles.

We’ve forgotten that nature holds the solutions to our contemporary dilemmas and the key to enabling all life to thrive once more on this planet. If we can revert to the age-old wisdom of mother nature and permit her organic progression to occur, everything returns to equilibrium. Creation can prosper anew, encompassing its source, by re-establishing a connection with the natural rhythms of nature, the rhythms of plants and animals, and the biological rhythms of women and men.

In pursuit of a more harmonious and prosperous global future, we are currently undergoing a necessary realignment of the masculine and feminine principles. Through a collaborative partnership, each gender brings forth unique qualities and strengths that mutually support and complement one another. In this state of harmony, power struggles dissolve, enabling individuals to pursue their authentic potential without the need for competition or dominance.

Central to this transformative journey is the acknowledgement of differences and celebration of individual strengths, a process requiring an environment conducive to self-discovery through heightened self-awareness. Recognizing the significance of understanding both the body (neurophysiology) and mind (psychology) becomes the initial step towards fostering this awareness. Presently, our knowledge in this domain leans predominantly towards a male-centric perspective, contributing to societal incoherence and resulting in imbalances recognized as mental illness, infertility, and economic instability.

A solid and more conscious economy ensures security, safety, and opportunities for everyone. This economic framework, in harmony with both nature and the principles of masculinity and femininity, demands an inclusive and adaptable economic environment. This environment must flexibly accommodate the natural cycles of the Earth and female biology, while concurrently providing a structured framework aligned with male biology. Within this context, individuals will be empowered to contribute authentically, safeguarding their well-being and the planet's health.

As we acknowledge the parallel between the disruptions in nature and the disconnection from our own essence, particularly exemplified in the neglect of women, a transformative realignment beckons. At its core, this journey necessitates a holistic understanding of humanity as a vital and vibrant part of nature, transcending the limited perspectives that contribute to societal imbalances. Our future beckons us to rediscover our interconnectedness with nature, embrace our unique selves, and co-create a world where harmony prevails, nurturing life in its fullest expression.
